The Bronx Zoo is open exclusively for Run participants all morning! As the world's largest urban zoo, the Bronx Zoo features more than 600 species from around the globe. Meet some of our mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and insects. All-day admission — with access to all rides and attraction — is included! Make sure to stop by World of Birds as we celebrate its 50th Anniversary where you can see hornbills up close! Plus starting at 12, explore Dinosaur Safari, and learn about amazing creatures past and present.

Please visit our Bronx Zoo FAQs for information about park rules.

"The Run for the Wild 5K at the Bronx Zoo has become an annual race for my husband and I. It is so fun to be in the zoo before the park is open and run past the animals. Then you get to stay for the rest of the day and enjoy the zoo!"
